About Ben - Nichts ist wie es scheint
Ben (Thomas Schaurer) has an argument with his girlfriend Sina. She falls into a coma, seriously injured. Ben is sent to a psychiatric clinic for attempted manslaughter. Doctor Karin Kramer (Juliana Gibbins), who has just been dumped by her partner and is therefore in a personal crisis herself, is given the task of preparing an expert opinion on the suicidal and aggressive Ben for the public prosecutor Sundmann. In ongoing conversations, Dr. Kramer tries to find out who Ben is and what happened during the argument between him and Sina. Is Ben dangerous or does he need to be protected? Nothing is as it seems...
Directed by Thomas Schaurer, Ben - Nichts ist wie es scheint leans on a strong ensemble — Thomas Schaurer, Juliane Gibbins, Christine Heimannsberg — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2005.
